Assessing the magnitude of reporting bias in trials of homeopathy: a cross-sectional study and meta-analysis

Gerald Gartlehner et al.

Summary: This study assessed the reporting bias in trials assessing homeopathic treatments and its impact on evidence syntheses. The findings showed that many registered trials were not published, there was a low registration rate for published trials, and primary outcomes were often changed. Unregistered trials had significantly larger treatment effects, potentially overestimating the true effect of homeopathic remedies.
